In Joshua's words

“Being selected as a recipient of the O'Shaughnessy Fellowship is the greatest honour I’ve experienced. It means more than simply being empowered to pursue my vision. Having Jim and the OSV team put their belief in me, and my work is an experience that will stick with me and drive me for life.”
